(Before 1700s)
The prehistoric inhabitants used stone tools and metals as part of their
daily activities like hunting and gathering. They also used crude stone
tools to create things considered rock art.
About 2.5 million years before writing was developed, technology began
with the earliest hominids who used stone tools, which they may have
used to start fires, hunt, cut food, and bury their dead.
